Financial Reconciliation

Department Business Administrators have a responsibility for identifying and resolving
financial problems. One of the most important internal controls in a business setting
is to reconcile a department’s records to source documentation ensuring revenues and
expenses that have been recorded are legitimate.

Queries for Reporting Financial Information

A large number of queries currently exist in FAST to help you manage your funds and
transactions. Queries may be either private, connected to your FAST ID that only you
may use, or public for any user to use. Most USF public queries are recognizable;
they are named as U_xxxxxxx. A USF public query may be saved and renamed as a private
query by any user.
